Terms of Use

Thanks for using PriceTrack.

Please read these Terms carefully. By using PriceTrack or signing up for an account, you’re agreeing to these Terms. This is a legal agreement. We’ll start with the basics, including a few definitions that should help you understand this agreement. PriceTrack (“PriceTrack” or the “Service”) is an competitor analysis service offered through the URL www.pricetrack.eu (we’ll refer to it as the “Website”) that allows you to create, track, and manage products & competitors (each competitor is called an “Competitor”) to individual competitors. PriceTrack is owned and operated by The Barlas Global d/b/a PriceTrack, (“PriceTrack,” “we,” or “us”). PriceTrack has employees, independent contractors, and representatives (“our Team”). As a customer of the Service or a representative of an entity that’s a customer of the Service, you’re a “Member” according to this agreement (or “you”).

These Terms of Use (“Terms,” including our Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, API Guidelines, Copyright Policy define the terms and conditions under which you’re allowed to use PriceTrack, and how we’ll treat your account while you’re a Member. If you have any questions about our terms, feel free to contact us.

ACCOUNT

1. Eligibility

In order to use PriceTrack, you must:

  1. be at least eighteen (18) years old and able to enter into contracts;
  2. complete the registration process;
  3. agree to the Terms; and
  4. provide true, complete, and up to date contact information.

By using PriceTrack, you represent and warrant that you meet all the requirements listed above, and that you won’t use PriceTrack in a way that violates any laws or regulations. (Representing and warranting is like making a legally enforceable promise.) PriceTrack may refuse service, close accounts of any users, and change eligibility requirements at any time.

2. Term

The Term begins when you sign up for PriceTrack and continues as long as you use the Service. Clicking the button and entering your username means that you’ve officially “signed” the Terms. If you sign up for PriceTrack on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to accept these Terms on their behalf.

3. Closing Your Account

You or PriceTrack may terminate this Agreement at any time and for any reason by giving Notice to the other party. We may suspend our Service to you at any time, with or without cause. If we terminate your account without cause, we’ll refund a prorated portion of your monthly prepayment or reimburse you for unused Tracking Credits. We won’t refund or reimburse you if there’s cause, like a violation of these Terms or our Acceptable Use Policy. Once terminated, we may permanently delete your account and all the data associated with it, including your products & competitors from our Website. If you don’t log in to your account for 12 or more months, we may treat your account as “inactive” and permanently delete the account and all the data associated with it.

4. Changes

We may change any of the Terms by posting revised Terms of Use on our Website and/or by sending an email to the last email address you gave us. Unless you terminate your account within ten (10) days, the new Terms will be effective immediately and apply to any continued or new use of PriceTrack. We may change the Website, the Service, or any features of the Service at any time.

5. Account and Password

You’re responsible for keeping your account name and password confidential. You’re also responsible for any account that you have access to, whether or not you authorized the use. You’ll immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your accounts. We’re not responsible for any losses due to stolen or hacked passwords. We don’t have access to your current password, and for security reasons, we may only reset your password.

6. Account Disputes

We don’t know the inner workings of your organization or the nature of your personal relationships, and we don’t arbitrate disputes over who owns an account. You won’t request access to or information about an account that’s not yours, and you’ll resolve any account-related disputes directly with the other party. We decide who owns an account based on the content of the emails in that account, and if multiple people or entities are identified in the content, then we’ll rely on the contact information listed for that account.

PAYMENT

7. Monthly Plans

Our charges for monthly plans are posted on our Website and may be changed from time to time. If any part of a month is included in the Term, then payment is due for the full month. Payments are due for any month on the same or closest date to the day you made your first monthly payment (the “Pay Date”). If you go over your sending limit and reach another pricing level, then you’ll have to pay at the higher level on or before the next pay date. If the Term ends before that payment is due, you’ll still be required to make one payment at the higher level.

8. Pay as You Go Plans

You may buy Report Credits to use our Services instead of signing up for a monthly plan. This is explained on the pricing page of our Website. If you choose a Pay as You Go Plan, you’ll still be considered a Member, and other than the monthly payment requirement, all the terms of this Agreement will still apply to you. Report Credits for Pay as You Go accounts roll over and don’t expire, but if your account is inactive for more than 12 months, it may be deleted.

9. Credit Cards

As long as you’re a Member or have an outstanding balance with us, you’ll provide us with valid credit card information and authorize us to deduct the monthly charges against that credit card. You’ll replace the information for any credit card that expires with information for a valid one. Anyone using a credit card represents and warrants that they are authorized to use that credit card, and that any and all charges may be billed to that credit card and won’t be rejected. If we’re unable to process your credit card order, we’ll try to contact you by email and suspend your account until your payment can be processed.

10. Refunds

We’ll give you a refund for a prepaid month if we stop providing our Services to you for a reason that’s not laid out in these Terms or our Acceptable Use Policy. You won’t be entitled to a refund from us under any other circumstances. We may offer a refund if a Member applies for one based on the requirements posted on the Website.

11. Charges for Add-Ons

Some features are offered as add-ons to your PriceTrack account. If you add on a feature that has a charge, then you’ll be billed that additional amount with each billing cycle for as long as the add-on is active. If you use an add-on in a way that violates these Terms or the Additional Terms, then we may terminate your account.

12. Billing Changes

We may change our fees at any time by posting a new pricing structure to our Website and/or sending you a notification by email.

20. No Warranties

If we file an action against you claiming you breached these Terms and we prevail, we’re entitled to recover reasonable attorney fees and any damages or other relief we may be awarded.

38. Entire Agreement

These Terms, our Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, API Guidelines (all of which are incorporated into these Terms by reference), and any additional terms you’ve agreed to by turning on specific features (“Additional Terms”) make up the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements, representations, and understandings. Any Additional Terms will be considered incorporated into these Terms when you activate the feature.

Where there’s a conflict between these Terms and the Additional Terms, the Additional Terms will control.
